Final Fantasy Tarot Card Project

[Amleya]

Ok, guys... This project is gonna be about me drawing tarot cards (only the Major Arcanas tho unless otherwise mentioned.) So don't say some random shit on here just cuz you don't believe in divination or whatever reason you got. I DON'T CARE. Just say something cuz it's design.

Since there are 22 Major Arcanas, I want a Final Fantasy character to represent each. Know this, I will follow the meanings of the Arcanas in my illustration as best I can. But the tough part is this... WHO WILL BE WHAT ARCANA? I want either the important protagonists or antagonists of maybe even both. NO SUPPORTING CHARACTERS!

In this thread, I want suggestions.

.....NO FFXI CHARACTERS!!!!

This site may help you with the stories of each arcana :|http://www.realmsofthearcane.com/card-tarot.php

[DIONYZA]

The Hermit should be Squall...obviously. And maybe Chaos(FF1) can be judgement due to his cycle of rebirth.

[Pulse]

Ive already pm'd Amleya about this... I was thinking if I could use this idea in a challenge. However, i think more people would be inclined to make a general card set as there are more of them, and also it will hopefully appeal to a wider range of members, obviously some people dont likeor believe i tarot, so that may be a reason many people havent responded.

I don't see how people won't say anything about it. I did say design-wise and not for the belief. :aldo:

[Whiplash]

*badgers* So when are you going to choose who is what and show us the finished products, Amleya? :aldo:

[Amleya]

*badgers* So when are you going to choose who is what and show us the finished products, Amleya? :aldo:

Quite possibly never. :aldo: jk Well, after some extensive character research. I really would like to have the XIIIs ppl in there but we don't know that much. I'm trying my best to get magazines for them too so.... Be patient. I'm still putting together my notes. :cookie:

Cuz even triple posting on my own thread seems lame to me.

[Amleya]

The story behind each arcana can be found here.. That's if you guys like reading ^_^ *is a bookworm* http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/magician.shtml

[Lost Thought]

Hm..if those are the choices for the FF characters to be in a acrana position I would choose for postions I-VIII. (If I played most FF games,and didn't read some of the descriptions off wikipedia my opinions possibly would be different.)

I.The Magician - Balthier(FF12)
III.The Empress- Garnet (FF9)
IV.The Emperor - Emperor (FF2)
V.The Hierophant - Larsa (FF12)
VII. The Chariot - Prince (FFvs13)
VIII. Strength - Lightning (FF13)

[Whiplash]

If you make Vaan the fool you've gotta go for Balthier as the Magician.

VII. The Chariot - Prince (FFvs13)
VIII. Strength - Lightning (FF13)

If you make Vaan the fool you've gotta go for Balthier as the Magician.

Those are great suggestions. ^_^ I've decided that
0. The Fool - Vaan (FF12)
I. The Magician - Balthier (FF12)
II. The High Priestess - most likely Terra (FF6)
III. The Empress - Garnet (FF9)
IV. The Emperor - I'm choosing between Vayne (FF12) or the emperor from FF2
V. The Heirophant - Either Minwu (FF2) or Aerith (FF7)
VI. The Lovers - Undecided but it has to be 2 totally opposing people (is thinking maybe Squall and Rinoa of FF8)
VII. The Chariot - I prefer the Vs Prince here
VIII. Strength - Lightning (FF13) or the Warrior of Light (FF1)
IX. The Hermit - Yuna (FF10) she is on a pilgrimage after all
X. The Wheel of Fortune - need help here http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/wheel.shtml for the story behind the arcana
XI. Justice - Either Ashe or Larsa (FF12) (but I'm leaning toward Larsa for this one)
XII. The Hanged Man - Cloud (he is rather stuck with his past and stuff) or perhaps a suggestion??
XIII. Death - Either Sephiroth or Chaos (FF1)
XIV. Temperance - Still not sure who can adjust or adapt to a new beginning... seems lotsa characters from FF do especially like in FF9 after the Iifa Tree appears or FF8, the time distortion thing, etc
XV. The Devil - Either Sephiroth (FF7) or Ultimecia (FF8) but if Sephiroth's chosen, he can't be representing another arcana
XVI. The Tower - I think Ashe (FF12), Cloud (FF7), Squall (FF8) or Zidane (FF9) may fit into this... Read this story to make sense of the Tower http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/tower.shtml
XVII. The Star - Hmmm... I wanna say Tidus (FF10)... because he was the one who was like "There has to be another way!" or what seems more fitting... Aerith (FF7) http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/star.shtml
XVIII. The Moon - Difficult one... either Cloud (FF7), Aerith (FF7), Squall (FF8), Edea (FF8), Zidane (FF9), or Fran (FF12)... http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/moon.shtml
XIX. The Sun - Squall (FF8) or Tidus (FF10) =\ http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/sun.shtml
XX. Judgment - Just reading the story... I'm thinking of all the protagonists of FF, but Cloud (FF7) stands out to me in this one... o____o http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/learn/meanings/judgement.shtml
XXI. The World - Tidus (FF10) or maybe you got suggestions, ppl?

[Tina]

Must u make Aerith and Cloud one of the nominations for Lovers? T___T

[Amleya]

Must u make Aerith and Cloud one of the nominations for Lovers? T___T

Lol, they balance each other out... But it was eliminated in the later stages of my planning ;)

[Tina]

HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY! :D :D :D

[Whiplash]

As I was typing before my internet so rudely froze:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/RayeOak/post.jpg

...it's in his NAME! I'd put Aeris as The Star. The others stump me; Judgement reminds me a bit of Locke and having to let go of Rachel, more so than say, Cloud, Squall, Zidane or Tidus, who were not so much concerned with past deeds as with who they were. I'm stumped with the Wheel of Fortune so I'll just default on it and resuggest Setzer :aldo:

Lol, Nau suggested Setzer too. I do agree with Locke being possibly Judgment. I wonder what everyone else thinks. Thanks for the suggestions! *writes it down*

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Squall and Rinoa works best for Lovers, even though I like Cloud/Aerith. S/R was official and their whole game was centred around their love, so I really think that spot should be for them.

I like this tarot idea, can't wait to see the results!

Yeah, it's a great way to study each character. I wanna learn more about the XIIIs people. :|

It'll take a while since I've yet to do research on the symbols of the Arcanas. And then sketching drafts for each of them. The final results will be airbrushed but if not, it'll be in marker. ;) Anyone wanna help with the Temperance arcana and Wheel of Fortune arcana nominations??

Yes, ma'am :aldo:

[BUTTCHEEKIES, OOH]

Ah, I'm glad you chose Zack for World and Ashe for Tower. I was supposed to suggest that, but apparently I let laziness takeover. :B

[AT23]

I got the ultimate project for you. After you're done constructing these tarot cards, draw the FFXIII Agito main character using them. It'll be the coolest project within a project concept.

[Amleya]

Just thinking mainly about her transformation through the game from child to adult.

[Amleya]

I see.... Do you think Zack should stay as World by the way?

[Little Miss Scarlett]

Wow, this is such a amazingly amazing idea! Publish them please? I need some new ones :(

Are all the characters completely set where they are? Or are you planning to change a few so you've got someone from each FF?

[Whiplash]

I stand by my original suggestion of Ultimecia. I also think that Sin would be perfect for Death but probably a tad hard to do.

[Little Miss Scarlett]

You've absolutely got to keep Vaan and Balthier... Ashe fits really well, but Kain could work there, too.

[Amleya]

Vaan deserves the Fool position :cookie: I like Balthier as Magician too....http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i186/Amleya/sun.gif

I remember you showing me the link to the Magician where it went through the story, and I can see why you'd like Balthier for that but sub in Seifer for the Fool in the story and look at it like that. If you tie the story too closely to Vaan you'll naturally end up with the cast of FFXII

[Amleya]

Thank you, Whip :aldo: You don't like Minwu in Hierophant? :ohmy:

[Whiplash]

Perhaps, but 'religion, conformity, tradition' just screams Wakka.

[Amleya]

ANY OTHER NOMINATIONS, PEOPLE? :cookie: Nice to see this thread going again :aldo:

I'm having second thoughts about Vayne as Emperor :aldo:

[Whiplash]

Galuf. You will not find an easier place to slot in a character from FFV.

[Patsie]

When i disappeared this was like 2 pages long and 5 months later, 3 pages XD
